'''Dimrost''' was a cascading waterfall on the stream of [[Celebros]], where it flowed down to meet the River [[Taeglin]] on the borders of [[Brethil]]. The falls raised a fine spray into the air, from which they took their name, which means "Rainy Stair". Above Dimrost, the [[Men]] of [[Brethil]] had constructed a wooden bridge to cross the Celebros.

Dimrost was a cascading waterfall on the stream of Celebros, where it flowed down to meet the River Taeglin on the borders of Brethil.[1] The falls raised a fine spray into the air, from which they took their name, which means "Rainy Stair". Above Dimrost, the Men of Brethil had constructed a wooden bridge to cross the Celebros.

From the bridge, a wide view could be seen, showing the Ravines of Taeglin two miles (3.2 kilometres) distant.[2]

When Níniel was first brought to Brethil, when she saw that view from the bridge, she started shivering uncontrollably - so much so that the name of Dimrost was changed to Nen Girith, the "Shuddering Water".[2] It was only later that the cause of her foresightful fear was discovered: the Ravines she had seen from the bridge would be the place of her tragic death.[3]
